In light of the recent election results I am reminded of how easy it is to have our loyalties, hopes, and ambitions tied to the princes and powers of this world. Peter’s exhortation in 1 Peter 2:9-17 reminds us that Christians are a people set apart by God’s mercy, for His service, called to live

By SC Lazar Assurance Lost In a recent article in Christianity Today (“Should We Stop Asking Jesus Into Our Hearts?” Posted 7/13/2012), pastor J.D.

Have you ever wondered how some Christians manage to misread Jesus’ clear promise that whoever believes in him for eternal life “shall never perish”? What do people do with those verses? What do they think they mean? Avoiding the clear meaning of Jesus’ promise requires some serious scripture twisting. I can imagine a conversation going

I recently came across the following quote from Watchman Nee, the famous Chinese evangelist and martyr. It is taken from a lecture he gave in Shanghai, during the spring of 1937, translated in The Gospel of God Vol. 1 (Anaheim, CA: Living Stream Ministry, 1990). It is almost word for word what Zane, Bob, and

The ‘culture wars’ are raging all around us, and far too often it seems to be churches who are at the forefront of normalizing sin. For example, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America recently drank the kool-aid and decided to condone homosexual clergy and relationships.
